Just wanted to say that I seem to be tolerating the Trileptal just fine. I was super worried about getting used to it enough to drive to work this morning (I have a 50 mile commute)...and I came into work and took my medicine and the whole day went just fine! Nice and smooth. I am a worry wart and get myself worked up about these things. But I am thrille to announce that it went well!
By friday I will be upping the dose from 150 mg to 300 mg...I'll let you know how the higher dose works. As for now, I still feel the ache in my face, but it seems to be helping with the headache and the numbness in my hands. That is an added bonus!
I see that this forum is kind of slow, not a lot of banter. This must mean that everyone is feeling good these days! Not a bad thing!
